Events and Experiences – Ocean Blue WORLD

Sushi & Sake With
Ocean Blue World

VIP partners, influencers and private guests of Ocean Blue World gathered last week over a Sushi & Sake Lunch hosted at the trendy Nicksan Palmilla. This chic and intimate afternoon as part of Ocean Blue’s exclusive events unlocked a magical experience with notable personalities, entertainment, and of course, extraordinary culinary creations.

In the secluded sanctuary of Nicksan Palmilla, where the essence of Japanese culinary artistry is seamlessly interwoven with the zest of Mexican heritage, guests of Ocean Blue were greeted with a “Tequila Tease” cocktail, an elixir that marked the commencement of the #OceanBlueExperience. Attendees interacted with special guest El Charro González who arrived in his signature Day of the Dead aesthetic while a graceful geisha walked amid the guests offering a perfect photo opportunity. Adding more beauty to the day, artist Rodrigo Azanza Zepeda orchestrated a live painting titled “Golden Symbiosis” of a blooming gold orchid and a pink-toned eclipse in a ceramic plate.

To the rich melodies of a classical string duo, guests were led to their tables where the narrative of taste was about to unfold. A trio of courses, the Sushi & Sake Lunch, beckoned. Each bite a fusion of cultures—be it the Sashimi Bluefin, Maki de Langosta, or Huachinango Sellado accompanied by Sake Bull Rider Junmai Daiginjo. The sweet finish? A lemon cake paired with Sake Sparkling Shirakabe.

The entertainment continued with an interactive origami-making experience and a luxury raffle with gifts from Gallery, TOP 10´S and Hayet Abdala. The lantern-designed #OceanBlueSwagBag featured Asian-inspired gifts for all to enjoy as well as the 34^th edition of Ocean Blue Magazine featuring David Beckham #OnTheCover.

Celebrated alongside Nicksan’s 30th anniversary, this Sushi & Sake Lunch took guests on a unique culinary adventure swooning with unique style, creativity and bespoke excellence. Ocean Blue World would like to thank Nicksan Palmilla, Chef Ángel Carbajal, Carmen Carbajal, El Charro González, Rodrigo Azanza Zepeda, Gallery, TOP 10’S, Hayet Abdala, and the coordinated efforts of the Ocean Blue team led by Vanessa Fukunaga, Owner and CEO of Ocean Blue World and Engel & Völkers Snell Real Estate.

A WHOLE LOT OF FASHION, JEWELRY AND DESIGN AT OCEAN BLUE’S TRENDING TEA PARTY

No matter how one prefers tea to be served, there’s something to be said about the act of gathering in good company and enjoying a cup of tea. Ocean Blue World unveiled their own playful spin on the classic tea party experience with a whole lot of fashion, jewelry and design…and of course, all the trimmings of a dreamy teatime. The sweet spot? Dalia. Located inside the renowned Viceroy Los Cabos resort, Dalia restaurant became the unique tea room offering lavish surroundings, plush furnishings and a delicate menu of traditional treats. Whisk yourself away for an afternoon of trendy tea and go behind the scenes at yet another spectacular #OceanBlueExperience.

By invitation only, the women who wow in Los Cabos were invited to a five o´clock sitting of afternoon tea with white glove service from Viceroy´s finest. Dressed in elegant vintage attire with fabulous fascinators of all colors and kinds, guests were greeted by soft music and waiters in trimmed blazers pouring chilled mimosas and Bellinis. True to the customs of a tea party, the charming outdoor garden space was staged to perfection and fit for a royal indeed. Table settings, décor and event design by Los Cabos Warehouse Rentals took attention to detail to a whole new level, including the Ocean Blue Glam Lounge with its blue-themed cozy furnishings. Pretty pastel shaded florals by Lola del Campo dressed every inch of this dreamy location defining a “Field of Wild Flowers” theme.

And so “Teatime” commenced. Served in artistic ceramic pieces that were as beautiful to look at as they were to use, classic teas such as Jazmin, Ruby Red, English Breakfast and Matcha were gracefully sampled and enjoyed. The menu offered a wide range of both savory and sweets. The egg salad sandwich, chicken coronation, Victoria sponge cake and warm scones went down a treat. As the ladies sipped and top media including Foro TV, Reforma Moda, Glamour Magazine, QPR and Ocean Blue Productions prepared their coverage, the fashion show began. Sonia Falcone, founder and president of the AMA Foundation dedicated to saving the seas, presented her spectacular AMA Designs pop up fashion show — an exclusive collection of dresses, swimwear, blouses, accessories and handbags all made with 100% natural materials. The simply exquisite Daniel Espinosa jewelry was incorporated into the show as well as some furry friends including @caboava. Fashion and design were having a moment and it was hats (fascinators) off in recognition of these iconic artists.

AN ICONIC EVENING OF ENTERTAINMENT AND STYLE.

A ONE OF A KIND #007 EXPERIENCE

It was as good as it gets. Ocean Blue World´s #007Experience in partnership with Nicksan was an iconic evening full of entertainment and style. A wild ride packed with luxury toys and gadgets, signature experiences and surprises, it was undeniably one of the best events ever presented by Ocean Blue. Symbolic of a new #OceanBlueEvent season, this socially safe gathering of friends and loved ones made for a special moment to revel in the forever classics of the iconic franchise while enriching the soul with maximum glamour. Front row tickets to this #ByInvitationOnly occasion clearly confirmed the world of Ocean Blue IS enough.

Heating things up for an evening of James Bond brilliance it was fast cars, signature Ocean Spy Martinis and hostesses dressed to impress in gold sequined attire with feather coronets. Then, on Nicksan´s outdoor terrace under the perfect night sky, the must-see spectacle awaited. Flawless cuisine brimmed from the master kitchen doors offering guests a “Beyond Sushi” experience of extraordinary house specialties including the Lobster Gohan and the 007 Royal Dessert. The talented team at Nicksan swiftly attended with their white-glove service and trend-setting gastronomy. Gorgeous design and décor by Eventos California sprinkled throughout with sleek elegance and stylish flairs of blue and black. Every corner was dripping with glimmers of the legendary secret agent – from exquisite OMEGA watches by Ultrajewels to chic rhinestones being painted on the face, to a recreational Blackjack game, and a secret mission to find the invisible code hanging from a token tree. In short, Ocean Blue World´s #007Experience was nothing shy of phenomenal.

Everyone knows that it wouldn’t be an authentic #OceanBlueEvent without Ocean Blue signature experiences. The #ShakenNotStirred Martini Bar in alliance with Home Ossy Bar was the dramatic scene for a pleasantly cool beverage while the #OceanBlueWorldBubbleBar favored a time to celebrate. Taking powder room touch ups to a whole new level was the #OceanBlueWorldBeautyBar and #OceanBlueWorldStudStation. Ocean Blue Magazine´s revered edition with Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, the Mercedes dynamic duo, made a comeback. Stunning OBW cakes were as beautiful as they were delicious, and the Ocean Blue gift bags made for memorable take home luxury treats.

“Shaking up a new #OceanBlueEvent season, the #007Experience truly went beyond in changing the way the spy game is played. Bringing our valued clients into the spotlight through the modern marvel of all things James Bond, the unforgettable evening was iconic, sexy and suave. If you missed out on this one, you simply can´t miss out on the next,” says Vanessa Fukunaga, Owner and CEO of Ocean Blue World and Engel & Völkers Snell Real Estate.

AFTERNOON TEA WITH AN EPIC VIEW

OCEAN BLUE WORLD´S CHIC & SOPHISTICATED SIGNATURE TEA PARTY

A spot of tea anyone? Ocean Blue World´s Signature Tea Party in partnership with French tea masters Dammann Frères was over-the-top chic, cool and sophisticated. Fit for a royal indeed, the afternoon tea experience was set on the edge of the sea – literally – as guests enjoyed the awe-inspiring Sea of Cortez views from the stunning estate of Villa Love & Peace. As the first hints of a new Ocean Blue Event season are starting to rise from a place of pause, here´s an in-confidence sneak peek at the year´s first socially safe #ByInvitationOnly event.

It´s a tradition that dates back to the 1840s in Britain, and in their usual fashion, Ocean Blue World brought it into their own hosting a stylish and simply divine tea party. Banding together with Women´s History Month, the women who wow in Los Cabos were invited to two sittings of early and late afternoon tea. On the menu – white glove service from top to bottom on the iconic Caleta, Palmilla cliffside.

Dressed in elegant vintage attire with matching fascinators of all colors and kinds, guests were greeted by the tunes of a live musician and escorted by a lineup of suited waiters offering blue roses and a specially prepared Nuit d´ete iced tea. Entering the stunning compound of Villa Love & Peace guests passed the lush native landscaping, floating steps, flanking waterfalls and dramatic firepits. Down the marble staircase and inside the expansive living room – behold a parade of pageantry. Staged with an impressive collection of fine china sourced from around the world and orchestrated with dashes of colorful décor, the artistic and creative direction on tableware was by Sonia Falcone, founder and president of the AMA Foundation dedicated to saving the seas. Guests were ushered to their table of choice which included the themes of Arabian Nights, Alice in Wonderland, All Things Flowers, AMA and Ocean Blue featuring hand-painted tablecloths by Los Cabos artist Tanya Talamante. Sublime floral decorations by Lola del Campo complemented the table settings and surrounding living spaces bringing to life the vibrancy of the occasion.

Tea was served. Luxury French tea masters Dammann Frères presented an exclusive tea tasting experience taking guests on a private sensory journey. As waiters served the selected teas including Coquelicot and Rooibos Vainille in gorgeous ceramic teapots, heavenly aromas of hibiscus, caramel, green tea and passion fruit filled the air. It wouldn’t be an authentic afternoon tea without all the traditional spreads catered and served by Casianos. Elegant serving trays brimmed with teatime treats of freshly baked pastries and dainty finger sandwiches. Then, care for something sweet? Miniature puddings of chocolate-mousse tarts, salted-caramel choux pastries, and exquisite OBW tiered cakes undeniably stole the show. On to the drinks menu, Ocean Blue World launched their own signature Bubble Bar in partnership with Home Ossy Bar delivering refreshing cocktails and a unique mixology experience.

As the event rolled on into the evening, a myriad of luxury giveaways were presented from Dammann Frères, Cypres, Tanya Moss, Casianos, Craic Yacht, and of course Ocean Blue. Adding to the trendy flair, guests let their gaze wander to the stunning Cabo Chic AMA designs by Sonia Falcone – an exclusive collection of blouses, shorts, dresses, accessories and handbags all made with 100% natural materials. When it was time for a touch up, Ocean Blue World´s Beauty Bar made for a flirty find in the home´s oversized powder room. Before departure, guests were able to take their memories home with the perfect photo opportunity at the charming green forest-like arrangement.

“For all luxury tea enthusiasts, this was the event to attend. A fusion of so many Ocean Blue signature items you must see to believe, this was yet another one-of-a-kind experience that only Ocean Blue World can do. There couldn´t have been a better place for a spot of tea than at Villa Love & Peace – it´s a home built for high-class entertaining and only the finest of occasions,” says Vanessa Fukunaga, Owner and CEO of Ocean Blue World and Engel & Völkers Snell Real Estate.

A Star-Powered 2019 Los Cabos International Film Festival

8th Edition of the Los Cabos International Film Festival

The 8th edition of the Los Cabos International Film Festival showcased cutting-edge, thoughtful and inspiring films of both emerging talents and established filmmakers, promoting creative and socially diverse content, as well as welcoming Robert De Niro and other top stars to Los Cabos, Mexico. Ocean Blue World goes behind-the-scenes at this year’s Los Cabos International Film Festival!

Opening the Festival with The Irishman

Held at the Pabellón Cultural de la República in Cabo San Lucas, Martin Scorsese’s highly anticipated crime drama The Irishman opened the 8th edition of the Festival, presented by the acclaimed actor, director and producer, Robert De Niro.

The Festival’s audience was the first in Latin America to watch one of this year’s most anticipated films before its release in theaters in Mexico on November 15 and on Netflix on November 27.

Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci star in Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman who worked alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th century. Spanning decades, the film chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries and connections to mainstream politics.

Scorsese’s new film, a reflection on hidden ties between organized crime and American political elites, was filmed by the Mexican cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto who was honored in 2016 with the Festival’s Tribute in recognition of his work in cinematography.

“We are proud to present the Latin American premiere of The Irishman, the recent film from one of the most influential filmmakers in World Cinema and to collaborate with Netflix to have this emblematic work on the Festival’s screens and in Los Cabos. ”– Maru Garzón, Artistic Director & Alejandra Paulín, Executive Director of the Festival.

Fantastic Women | Mujeres Fantásticas

Rethinking the role of women in cinema, the Festival introduced the Mujeres Fantásticas (Fantastic Women) initiative. Featuring Yalitza Aparicio, Gabriela Warkentin and Daniela Vega at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, their conversation highlighted today’s cinema industry, identities and women in film.
